Peps - Pettersson is borderline garbage. The #1 thing s defensemen needs is being calm with the puck in a pressure situation. When the pressure is on he is terrible.
When everyone is healthy.
Letang and Dumo
Oli and Shultz
JJ and Gud
Letang is world elite
Dumo is rock solid - one of the best players in the D zone in the league
Oli is rock solid on the D end - don't understand the hate he gets on this board
Schultz is a excellent puck moving D man who has improved in the D Zone vastly over the past years
JJ is playing the best hockey of his season right now
Gud had a very mediocre first game - seems to get flat footed but I will wait and see
I prefer Chad and the Finn over Pettersson at this point

This guy is a gem, aside from a game here n there....he's been easily our 3rd best D-man after Letang & Dumo. Now i don't know if that means we have a **** defense or this guy is just that legit. I like to think its the latter.

Pettersson has been having a tough week, though.
to be fair he is a rookie still, so he's gona have those weeks.
I didn't say put him on waivers.
But he is struggling a bit recently. At a time when the Pens need him to be reallllly solid. It'll be okay eventually.
Sprong has 1 point in his last 10 games. 17 in 48 and a -16.
I get that this board and forum in general has always overrated prospects heavily but this is a deal that is almost surely going to be strongly in our favor at the end of the road.
Although no example is better than Yakupov.He’ll be an easy example of a player lacking hockey IQ going forward.
